THE HOPEDALE COLLISION.
Later Reports Show That Ten Men We're
Killed Outright and Twenty Injured.

Specis5 to the Indianapolis journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill, July 28-The wreck on
the Chicago &s Alton railway, caused By the col
lision of a west bound freight and a construction
tram, at the Orendorff bridge, near Hopedale,
proves to have been a more dreadful affair than
the reports obtainable last night made it. The
list of fatalities as corrected up 70 o'clock to-
night foots up ten, and of injured twenty five,
of whom it is feared three will die. Ali of the
ten dead men were taken out of the wreck, and
it is surmised that several more may
be under it yet. At midnight the track
was cleared. but the greater part OF the
debris is still where it fell. The construction
train cars were each about half loaded with ties.
The trains struck within few feet of bridge
seventy feet long aud thirty feet high, from
which several laborers jumped, and all escaped
without injuries. The great majority did not
dare to leap. It was very sharU curve. and
the trains saw each Other but moment before
the crash. This afternoon special train went
from here to Hopedale, with coffins and stretch
ers, and everything needed to carry the killed
and wounded to Jacksonville. where the wound
ed will be placed under the direct charge of DR..
King, the company's surgeon.
The theory of the disaster given this morning
was substantially correct. The west bound
freight was tagged at Hopedale and informed
that bridge WAS burning and unsafe. The
Hopedale. and the fire was extinguished. The
bridge remaining safe. the engine then picked up
the train and proceeded. Meantime the construc-
ton train had been sent from the west to the
bridge, which was then believed to be impass-
able and met the freight, with dire conse-
quences. The complete list of dead is as fol-
lows:
Plano Darrow. Ashland. H.. wife aud six
children; age 60; not mark on the body;
